Drumshanbo Sausage Tree Pure Irish Vodka

The infusion of the African Baobab fruit gives this Irish vodka a distinctly citrusy, slightly tart flavor reminiscent of grapefruit or sherbet. This unique botanical addition provides a sweet, fruity aroma without the need for added artificial flavorings or sugars. It completely separates the taste from standard grain vodkas on the market.

Because it is distilled from locally sourced Irish grain, the base spirit does contain gluten prior to the distillation process. However, the rigorous copper pot distillation process removes the gluten proteins, making it generally tolerated by most people with mild gluten sensitivities. Highly sensitive individuals with celiac disease should still consult their doctor before consuming grain spirits.

Due to its natural, fruity botanical notes from the Baobab fruit, it pairs exceptionally well with a premium, neutral tonic water and a twist of fresh grapefruit peel. The effervescence of the tonic highlights the vodka's subtle sweetness, making it act almost like a pre-flavored gin. It also blends beautifully with ginger beer for a spicy, fruity mule variation.

The vodka is crafted at the Drumshanbo Single Distillery in Ireland and is meticulously distilled multiple times in traditional copper pot stills. This labor-intensive process ensures an ultra-smooth finish that readily absorbs the delicate nuances of the infused botanicals. The slow distillation in copper helps strip away harsh alcohols while preserving the fruit notes.
